Very immature and childish and not something I expected from you.

i really didnt want to get into this any more, but could you point out where i was being childish?





i am a logical person and a realist.

in this forum i kind of have the reputation of raining on people's parades as far as variance and winrates are concerned.

the reason i do this doesnt stem from jealousy or even immaturity, in fact, i think its quite the opposite.

i have played more hands at the 1k and 2k games since they started than most people on here.

i consider myself to be quite realistic when discussing winrates, variance, opponents etc.

so when a poster, new or old, good player or bad, starts talking about winrates and yearly expectations without having a clue as to how their winrate through 60k hands stacks up to their longterm WR in the game, i cant resist trying add some sense into the thread.


here's a great example. for a 100k stretch of hands, i ran at 6bb/100, which would put me on pace for around $1.2million for the year. sounds good to me.

except, that during the next 100k hands, i ran the worst i have ever ran, (or seen anyone else run) for an extended period. i was under 1bb/100.


so...when threads get started about how easy it is to make $1 million a year at the 2k games, or how you made $6m the last two years, i cant help but chime in with my thoughts and experiance in games i have played for the last year, day in and day out.


and regarding your original thread, you have lurked here long enough to know that winrate and hourly rate threads are always a complete mess, so if your intention as you say "talk about LAG style, turning pro, etc. " then you are smart enought to know that you should have never mentioned that number.

i have nothing against you and to tell you the truth, you seem like a real nice guy.

i hope you stay and post. i really do.


btw, although not to this extent, KKF was flamed alot for various things but people also knew he had a alot to say, and they listened. he eventually matured and is a very good poster for the most part.

you clearly already have the maturity and good stuff to say, so i hope you can look past this stuff and stick around.
